Chapter 454: Chapter 454: The Result of Mutual Slaughter
Gu Jiaojiao moved as fast as lightning, carving a graceful arc through the air to land behind one of the men in black.
A single kick struck him square in the back, right over his heart, sending the man in black flying.
She then gracefully walked over to the leader of the men in black, who had been the first to fall. Bending down, she picked up the gun lying near him and tossed it into her space.
She didn’t forget to plant her foot on his head. "You dare bring people to kill me? Believe it or not, I’ll stomp your damn head in."
Unfortunately, the man on the ground was still unconscious from the drug and couldn’t respond to her.
She walked over to the other two men in black and collected their weapons as well. She would never get complacent and leave herself in a dangerous position.
Without their specialized weapons, she wouldn’t be afraid even if the men in black suddenly regained consciousness.
Gu Jiaojiao casually wreaked havoc, and the ground was soon littered with conscious men in black, all wailing in agony.
Meanwhile, Su Shuochi was racing over with Geng Haoyi, completely frantic. He had no idea his wife had already dealt with the assassins.
At the time, he had been in the tech department, teaching the entire staff some advanced techniques.
Geng Haoyi had rushed to find him, telling him that Mr. Geng had called. A group of special agents was heading to Hualin Road to eliminate a target.
He said they were to head there secretly and provide support. Since both Su Shuochi and Geng Haoyi held official posts, they had to be on call for orders at all times.
As Su Shuochi was driving near the outskirts of the city, he ran into Han Jingyi, who had come looking for him. He rolled down the window, and Xiao Rui’s urgent voice called out.
"Sir, you need to get to Hualin Road, quick! The Lin Family is meeting our young mistress there for a fight."
"Alright, we’re heading there now. You two can go home, don’t worry," Su Shuochi said in a calm voice.
In reality, he was frantic, like an ant on a hot griddle, but he managed to control his emotions.
At that moment, he wished more than anything that he had superpowers and could instantly teleport to Gu Jiaojiao’s side.
When Han Jingyi and Xiao Rui saw that he didn’t seem the least bit worried, they felt relieved.
Su Shuochi drove the modified Land Rover so fast it nearly flew off the ground. Geng Haoyi calmly tried to reassure him, "Su, calm down. Slow down a little."
’Or I’ll pass out before we even get there.’ But he didn’t dare say it out loud.
He knew how much his sister-in-law meant to Su—she was more important to him than his own life.
He could only try again. "My grandfather definitely notified more than just the two of us. Other departments will be heading there for backup too."
"Mm, you have a point. Besides, the agents’ target isn’t necessarily Jiaojiao," Su Shuochi said aloud.
But he didn’t believe that for a second. ’The target is definitely my wife.’
They had run into similar situations several times before; it couldn’t be a coincidence.
"Right, right, the target can’t be your wife. She’s just an ordinary university student."
"Mm."
Su Shuochi suspected, ’Maybe the enemy targeted Jiaojiao back when she was treating Mr. Li.’
But then he thought that was impossible. Jiaojiao hadn’t been to give Mr. Li acupuncture for a week.
Apparently, the poison in Mr. Li’s system had been completely cleared after he took the medicine pills Jiaojiao had given him.
What he didn’t know was that his wife had been targeted by the enemy that very day at school, after she made a brilliant impression while hosting a group of foreign medical students.
Gu Jiaojiao herself probably didn’t even know this was the reason.
Su Shuochi slowly began to calm down, though he kept the car’s speed perilously high. From a distance, he recognized his wife’s motorcycle.
While still some distance away, he executed a perfect drift, blocking the path of Wang Yuejin and his two companions.
The three of them had been cheerfully chatting about their futures when they came across another special-looking jeep, this one blocking the middle of the road.
"Good heavens, we’ve seen so many fancy cars today. Where are they all going?" Wang Dashu asked in confusion.
"Where’s the owner of the motorcycle?" Su Shuochi demanded, his voice radiating cold fury. Shadows swirled in his icy eyes.
"The... o-owner... she said she was waiting up ahead for a ride," Wang Yuejin stammered, intimidated by Su Shuochi’s frigid gaze.
"Did you see any cars go by?"
"Yes... Four jeeps." But before he could finish, the driver had already sped off with a roar of the engine.
"Yuejin, who was that guy? And speaking of which, if those jeeps were picking up that immortal, how come they haven’t come back yet?"
"Oh no," Wang Yuejin said, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. "Those guys must be the bad guys. We have to go back and check!"
When Su Shuochi arrived, he could see from a distance that the ground was littered with men in black, lying every which way. Some were motionless, while others were screaming in agony.
And there was his wife, hands on her hips and a radiant smile on her face, lecturing someone nonstop.
The moment she saw him, she turned and ran toward him, a brilliant smile on her face. "Shuoci! I beat them to a pulp! Pretty amazing, right?"
Su Shuochi’s eyes were full of adoration as he smiled and nodded. "Mm-hm. My wife is the most amazing one there is."
Gu Jiaojiao approached him gleefully, lifting her chin with a proud little sniff. "Well, of course."
She patted her chest. "Su Shuochi, don’t just stand there praising me. Look at this! They ended up fighting each other. I really have to give myself a pat on the back for that."
"Mm, Jiaojiao is truly amazing," Su Shuochi said, stroking Gu Jiaojiao’s head. His hand was still trembling.
"A moment ago, I planted my hands on the ground, did a leg sweep, and they all started fighting each other! HAHA..."
Gu Jiaojiao felt him trembling with worry, so she playfully demonstrated the move for him.
Not caring that others were watching, Su Shuochi pulled her into his arms. Only then did his heart begin to settle.
"Sister-in-law, what’s that move called?" Geng Haoyi asked as he trotted over excitedly.
Inwardly, he was reeling. He was so shocked he was questioning reality. He had just been wondering how his sister-in-law had managed to take down a dozen men all by herself.
"That move is called the Wave Riding Steps. I learned it from your brother Su. It’s super useful! It’s practically like walking on water. You can wipe the floor with your enemies without even breaking a sweat."
Su Shuochi couldn’t help but chuckle. He raised a hand and ruffled her soft hair again. "Jiaojiao is amazing. Jiaojiao is the best."
"You know it!" Gu Jiaojiao said, puffing out her chest. "After all, I’m your wife!"
Just then, a silver-gray sedan pulled up not far from them. A handsome young man jumped out of the passenger seat.
He wore a service cap and strode quickly over to Su Shuochi, saluting. "Sorry, Comrade Su, Comrade Geng. We’re late."
Several other men in similar caps followed close behind him, and behind them were several minibuses.
"It doesn’t matter. We’re leaving now. These people are all yours," Su Shuochi said coolly.
With that, he led Gu Jiaojiao into the back seat. Geng Haoyi took the driver’s seat, and the car sped away.
Wang Yuejin and his friends were dumbfounded. Were all those people on the ground taken down by the immortal, or by those two men who just arrived?
Unfortunately for them, the newcomers didn’t know either. While they were still standing there in a daze,
one of the men in service caps approached them and asked sternly, "Who are you?"
"We’re... with that young lady."
